PEG-12 BEESWAX
Safety grade: A
This is beeswax that has been chemically modified to make it water-soluble and easier to mix into cosmetic formulas. Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees, and this processed version helps ingredients blend together smoothly.
This ingredient acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend water and oil-based ingredients together so they don't separate, while also providing a light protective barrier on the skin.
